WHY 1T Is THUS.

We have heard the question fre-
quently asked why the Republican organ
restricts its abuse to Judge Carlton. The
Judge is Chairman of the Commission
and in that capacity, wrote the letter
which was submitted to General Nc
Clernand and Commissioner Thomas.
The former is outspoken in his endorse
ment of it, while the latter has never, SC
far as we have heard, manifested his
disapproval by word or pen, although we
understand that ho suggested some
alterations in the communication, which
were adopted. While we might possibly
make pretty shrewd guess as the reason
of the R. O.'s retiency in regard to the
other Commissioners-or rather two
reasons-one relating to each gentleman
we will leave the problem to be solved
by others.

A NAVAL RESERVE.

Secretary Whitney is said to have un-
der serious consideration the organization
os a naval reserve force, after the Eng
lish plan. 1t is proposed to interest such
cities as Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, New Orleans, San Francisco.
Chicago and other seacoast and lake
front cities in the organization of volun-
teer navy. The Navy Department would
locate naval officers in the several cities
mentioned to train the men enlisting in
the volunteer force, and guns and vessels
would be placed at their disposal. The
Department is said,,to be preparing plan
for carrying out this idea, which the
Secretary will submit to Congress with
his next annual report. 1t is stated that
he is assured of the support of the yacht
ing men of several of the big cities, and
in fact proposition to organize such a
force has come from New York.

POLICE DISCRIMINATION.

THE DEMOCRAT when it moved to its
present quarters, which are in the CEN
trail portion of the town, inaugurated
custom unprecedented here, but which
is adopted by all metropolitan journals
East and West. 1t was the placing of
large bulletin board on the sidewalk, at
the outer edge, for the posting of copies
of the inside and outside of The DEMOCRAT
each evening as soon as it was issued.
This was for the public benefit, for the
purpose of enabling all, who were unable
or who did not chose to purchase the
paper to read the news. 1t perhaps in
ured to our disadvantage in a pecun-
iary point of view, as it probably
lessened somewhat the street sales.
We were, however, willing to make this
sacrifice, which all enterprising journals
should be willing to submit to. In few
days, however, the Mormon City police
ordered us to remove it, acting presuma-
bly, under the direction of the City Coun-
Gil. We have noticed, however, that if
we were violating any city ordnance, that
it is notenforced against Mormon business
houses, or such Gentiles as come within
the class OF Jacks. The order was evil
IDENTIFY made on account of the enmity of
the Mormon Council to this paper. Now,
we propose to resume the custom, and
propose, if further interfered with, to
see that the law is asstrictly enforced
against a couple of dozen of more
fragrant violaters of the ordinance
by blocking the sidewalk for hours
SO as to render it absolutely impossible
for pedestrians. We do not psopose to
yield quietly to such hostile discrimina-
tion against The DEMOCRAT.

MR.. PECULIAR PAYROLL.

The editorial brace heretofore occupy
ing the chair in the inner sanctum of our
Republican contemporary is now a
triumvirate. The new light shining on
the editorial columns of our contempo-
rary is gentleman by the name of Pay
'roll-Mr. Peculiar Payroll. This gentle
man comes to the notice of the Salt Lake
and Utah public under the most favor
able circumstances, as he has just been
widely advertised in the glowingly-bril-
liant and widely-infuential editorial col
umns of the very paper of whose staff he
is now leading member. Mr.. Peculiar
Payroll of our Republican contemporary
enjoys the advantage of being no
stranger in Salt Lake. Mr.. Peculiar
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1887-04-28
POLITICAL CLEANLINESS.

A new era has dawned upon the coun-
try. 1t is the era of political cleanliness.
In the Democratic light of this new era
the darkness of Republican National
triumph is impossible. The success of
the Democracy in 1884 was followed
by a National revelation. The true
mission of a Republican form of
government was unfolded. A Dem
ocratic administration has proved
to the Nation that all things are possible
to the people. And the glorious words
in which this revelation is couched, the
undying phrase in which this possibility
is announced, is Political cleanliness"
Cleanliness Of politics has been made
synonymous with Democratic govern
ment. The corruption accumulating un-
der twenty-four years of Republi-
can misrule has been removed
from the avenues of administration.
The wheels of government have been
freed from the clogs of public and private
plunder. The cleansing has been
thorough and complete. This Admins
tration cleansing has gloriously reacted
upon the Nation. The publication of
Administration has purified the politics
OF the country. The Nation beholds
the light, and will never again
tolerate the darkness of party
corruption. This publication and
cleansing has been a Democratic task,
and henceforth the politics of Democracy
are the politics of the Nation. Political
cleanliness has been Democratic gift to
the people, and the people will hereafter
see that the affairs of the Nation are
held in trust by the party which has
proved itself the Nations benefactor.
With the defeat of Republicanism
at the polls always certain, the
Republican party is now engaged in max
ing that defeat doubly sure. The two
party leaders now before the country in
rivalry for the Republican Presidential
nomination are both feared by the peo-
pie. They both represent the worst ele-
ments of that system of political corrup-
ton overthrown at the polls in 1884.
AS President of the United States,
either of them would once again foul
the now pure stream of National
politics. John Sherman is especially
identified with the dark record of Repub-
lican power. He has grown gray as one
of the foremost defenders of National dis
honor. For long years he was a benef-
ciary of National corruption. He has
been the shameless exponent
of sectionalism, and his ca
reer as the apostle of the
Bloody Shirt" is branded upon
upon the history of the nation in charac-
ters of infamy which even Times effacing
fingers can never blot out Mr.. Blaine's
record is several shades lighter than that
of Mr.. Sherman, but it is still dark and
threatening enough to make the people
avoid him as they would avoid pesti-
lence. In fact Republicanism is in itself
but political pestilence. But the body
polite has recovered from the dread dis
order, and the last lingering remnants of
the contagion will be thrown off at the |
polls in 1888. Political cleanliness has
come, and the Nation will steadily
strengthen its grasp upon the glorious
dispensation.

Payroll has long been connected with our
Republican contemporary, though here
tofore his duties have been in mechan-
ical department, consisting in what is
known in Republican contemporary par
lance, as quitting up job" This ex-
perience of the new editor has eminently
fitted him for the high position upon
which he has just entered, and admirers
of himself and the paper, confidently as
sert that in the editorial columns OF our
Republican contemporary, Mr.. Peculiar
Payroll will find field commensurate
with even the wide grasp of his job-like
powers.

That was a deserved rebuke Judge
Zane gave Land Agent Simmons for re-
fusing to promise to sustain and obey all
laws of the United States and particu-
larry those affecting this Territory. A
professional man who makes his bread
and butter out of the beneicence of the
Government and will not swear allie
glance to his country's laws merits the
contempt of all free men. Simmons did
not get his certificate and hence cannot
engineer cases through the Land Office.

AT an early hour this morning, a
wordy wrangle on one of our street cor
ners drew quite a crowd. Investigation
revealed, however, that is was only a
quarrel between the editorial and local
columns of our Mormon morning con-
temporary on the boom issue, and as
small matters never long rivet attention,
the crowd soon dispersed.

The New South: There are but two
ways to end the labor troubles in the
United States. One is to prohibit the
immigration of wage-laborers from Eu-
rope; the other is to find new markets
for the products of American skill and
industry. The problem presses for a
speedy solution, and it should engage
the immediate attention of our states
men-if we have them.

In the test case of Guilford L. Miller
against the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, in regard to disputed public
land, Mr.. Cleveland has interefered in
favor of the settler Miller, and has trans
mitted to the Secretary of the Interior
instructions that the threatened rights of
the settler be at once fully vindicated.

The Queen OF the Sandwich Islands is
not coming to Salt Lake City. This
relieves our city government from a
situation. 1t had determined
to tender the freedom of the city to the
visiting Queen, and as under Church rule
the city has no freedom, the offer could
not possibly have been redeemed.

THE development of the vast natural
gas deposits underlying Salt Lake is
again being agitated. An enterprising
firm of Eastern capitalists is said to have
offered the Mormon Church heavy
royalty for the use of the Underground
route for investigating purposes. AS the
Tabernacle is always open to financial
conviction, the most favorable results can
speedily be looked for.

Mr.. GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS opinion
upon Presidential candidates is reported
by the Cincinnati Enquirer. The more
important points in the opinions given
are that Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Blaine
are the favorites in their respective par

way of electing either of them!

The city government is hesitating over
the proposition for the lease of the Warm

the well-known reluctance of the City

AN Englishman has just given to the
world volume on American travel, in
which he has great deal to say about
the shifting shadows" of American life.
This breeds the suspicion that during his
stay in the United States, the writer was
so unfortunate as to encounter Mr..
Blaine's record.

WE are hardly inclined to credit the
report that Jones, of Florida, late recusant

point which absurdity ought not to

Church assassination to remind them OF

cally appeals to the public, and trots out
its twenty-five cent payroll for inspec-
